Good morning! Wookie’s Paw, if you need assistance in your lawsuit on Rio’s behalf, Atty. Meash stands at the ready.
Mr. Fireslippers strikes again! A carrot peeler! Heh heh! Priceless.
As for Sierra, there are two lessons to be learned, and not by us Members of the Nation Within:
#1. No rings or other jewelry are worth $23,000
#2. F you have something very valuable, why on earth would you put it within reach of one of us youngsters?

Rio, in our town the lawn area between the sidewalk and the street is considered city property. If there are trees planted in that space, the city can trim them or do whatever they want. If that is true in your suburb, there might not be much recourse.

Morning all. That is a LOT of money for personal adornment. We have diamond collars from Amazon, and we are sure Mama didn’t pay that much.
The Storyteller doesn’t understand what is so funny about Mr.Fireslippers. Have we mentioned that the Storyteller’s idea of cooking is boiling water for his instant oatmeal?
Good to see three members of the Plunderer litter on the team! Last year, they were clinging to life….now they are running Copper Basin.
(And Mama is sniffling a little at one of the pairs)

Rio. I checked with my paw about this lawsuit thingie. My dad says he believes he has been admitted to a number of bars in Colorado but he is not sure whether he has been admitted to the Bar in Colorado, whatever that means. In any event, he said that he will look into that further, on both counts.

Koosie!…Someone busted out the good-Luck Koosie for the play-off games starting here at 2:30…snort!…I won this in a bet last year during the play-offs!…chuffle! ….It is a special Koosie as it has a unique design. Check it out!….burp!

Martha! I received the pattern for the knit catnip mousies today. Thank you so much. I haven’t done that “increase” business for a few years, so I will have to ponder for awhile. I really appreciate it. Thank you again.

Lurker!….Are youse guys watching the Ravens vs the Patriots right now?….sniff!…This is going to be a nail-biter I can just tell. Beau and I are rooting for the Patriots because I don’t think the Broncos could beat the Ravens…heh!heh!burp!

Howlers, we ordered 3 beef halves a while ago. The meat is from a local farmer who has a small pastured herd of Angus cattle. He finishes them on grain, but he grows his own non-GMO corn. They are given no growth hormones or antibiotics. Five families took a quarter, and then we split the last quarter with another family. If we are going to eat meat, this is the way we want it raised. It worked out to about $4.50 to $5.00 per lb, which is extremely reasonable, we think.

L the L, to increase a stitch, put the needle in to knit and pull it back down but don’t take the stitch off the left-hand needle. Then insert the needle again like you were going to purl and you will get a second stitch out of that one stitch on the left-hand side. I’m assuming you’re right-handed.

I’ve got 90 percent of my errands done and am ready to check out Philip and the Snowhook team.

They had (6) poblano peppers at the grocery store. A rarity, so I bought half of them for chile rellenos. I love chile rellenos.

Rio: Ask your friend what kind of chiles are in those frozen 2 pound bags? Are they the infamous “hatch” chiles of which I’ve heard speak? Or some other kind? Are they green? Are they red? Big or small?

Bear, I wasn’t able to make it to the funeral or to the breakfast afterwards. It was snowing about 2 inches an hour and there was a travel advisory on. There were white outs and many of our major roads were closed. I was hoping to make it to Sammy’s house and ride with them but I wasn’t able to get that far.

Chilies!….Hot Green Chilies…snort!…Any kind will do I suspect. My friend is honored because someone who is married to the hotshot and is from Mexico will be using her recipe to make the green chili tomorrow…chuffle!…Although this gal will be making her own chicken broth and fresh tomatoes with habaneros – not the canned stuff…heh!heh!…In return my friend is going to get some of her authentic Mexican food recipes….Yeeeeep!

You are welcome for the directions. I am very impressed by anyone who can knit. I tried in Girl Scouts and was not good at it.
Here is a survey: What is the strangest thing your dog did eat? For me, it was years ago when my St. Bernard ate one of my socks. It did require surgery!

Bear!…During play-off season there can never be too much excitement!…snort!snort!…I forego watching most of the regular season, but we, Beau, my friend and I, do enjoy the games leading up to the Supper-Bowl…chuffle!burp!

Gronk!….The Koozie is back on the table and all of a sudden Gronk caught a catch for the touchdown!….WOOOOO!…Now the Pats are behind by only one touchdown…snort!snort!…Gronk was on Top Chef recently, so we know who he is first paw…chorkel!…He is a foodie! And he is a big Bugger…chuffle!

Bear, I might have tried to make a run for it, but I’ve had this rib pain that’s holding me back from doing crazy things like I used to do. Because of our friend going into hospice and dying and the wakes and now the funeral, I hadn’t mentioned to Sam’s mom about the problem yet.

I fell back in October and I thought my sore rib was all healed up. I did something either the end of last week or early this week that brought all the pain back again. So I’ve just been lying low and healing. I don’t know what I did to make it come back.

Snort!…Maskers! You may get your wish, but you have to be patient and live through January and the Play-offs…chorkel!…Secretly, my friend and I do not believe the Broncos will make it that far this year. But we would never tell Beau to his face as he is a True Believer!….snort!

Barb, that sounds like the kind of beef we get. Grass-fed but finished on grain. Small farm. Only a very few each year.

Rio, these guys are beer snobs. Not us, mind you. We’d join you and drink whatever you are offering. But the ‘rents don’t do lite beers, and nothing mass-produced. They like microbrews. Pop sticks to pale ales and i.p.a’s (apostrophe catastrophe?). Mom likes those, but also stouts, porters, bitters…well, she hasn’t found a type she doesn’t like, as long as it’s the right type for the season.

MollysMaw!…It is a good thing you chose wisely and stayed home. Please rest up AND no heavy lifting (as in Moving All Your Stuff from one place to another) during this winter…sneeze!…Back to the game!…yeeeep!

Martha, Barb says the most unusual thing one of her dogs ever ate was black thong underwear that belonged to her son’s girl friend. They came out in one piece, and Barb thought it would be funny to wash them and give them back to her, knowing where they had been. However, she did not.

We are having Kat problems here. This week she began this new thing where she won’t come in at night, and when the ‘rents go to get her, she keeps running off and makes them chase her. Something is scaring her. But we have no idea what, or who.

Breaks!…There are a LOT of commercial breaks in football…grump!…Anyways, back to the beer discussion. I am the beer drinker here and she buys me Bud Light. I have nothing really to compare it to…heh!heh!burp!… I am on a limited beer budget and so therefore….

I received a couple Christmas cards today. One from Barb, Maggie & Lucy that was sent on December 13th and one from CHobbit that was sent on December 16th!
I received 2 others before Christmas, one from Wose and one from O’Howler’s. Both made it across the border using only a forever stamp which is not legal for international mail.
Thank you for the cards!

Rio: Real authentic recipes from Mexico! Let us know what the hot-shot says about your green chile recipe. I have to go south next week for a couple days and I’m hoping to find some chiles.

BearSpiritDog: The man who lives in this house is not a fan of Mexican food so you are welcome to blur by and join me for some rellenos.

Authentic!…I hear she is a big fan of the blender to make her simple but wonderful sauces….slobber!…Someone here cannot wait to try out the recipes if she can wrangle control of the kitchen away from you-know-who!…snort!

Thanks, Dawson. That sounds delish. Then again, anything sounds good at this point. After the chicken was in the oven for an hour, it was discovered that someone somehow had turned the oven off. We are still waiting to eat. Growl go the tummies.

Dawson, you’ve got us drooling. WE can get more Mexican food here than a decade ago but it is east coast Mexican and slightly different than what mom grew up with. Chite cheeses here, yellow and white out west. Serrano peppers instead of poblanos. Just little differences.

This tracker on the Copper Basin race seems to be keeping track of Phillip and it refreshes easily. What a day…2 dead trees being cut down in our yard, a race start, and football out the ying yang. Oh and a double birthday celebration: Darah Thes 2 and Blondie 1. The HOH is a pack of pooped pups. Nighty night.

Staff!…Yes! I an rooting for the Snowhook Dawgs – I have a soft spot for little Melanie. She is so little and so timid, but she sure can run!…heh!heh!…Truthfully, I think Phil is running the race for Phil and probably not necessarily for Snowhook’s Glory…grunt!…The dogs are a gift to him from Snowhook. I hope he takes very very good care of them. Or I will personally find my way up there and he will know the wrath of Rio…snort!

Seahawks!…Congratulations to Nana, Maskers and Bear! Their team is a big winner…snort!…So the Patriots and the Seahawks definitely have a shot at being in the Supper Bowl this season…chuffle!…Tomorrow two more teams will be in that category. Of course we are hoping the Broncos will beat the Colts – Beau is certain they will. We shall see…gruffle!

Kitchen!..Oh and my friend is hoping to get up early and taking over the kitchen tomorrow – going to make Great Grama’s Case Noodle (recipe in Dishlickers)…heh!heh!…Everyone is happy when this happens!….wOOOooooOOO!
